BGM: Mephiles' Whisper (Sonic '06)
"No… no…!" Riku exclaimed.
"Heheheh… HAHAHAHA… MWHAHAHAHA!" Mephiles cackled. "So much for her miserable life!"
"Why?! Why did you do such a thing?!" Isaac demanded.
Mephiles chuckled. "Simple, I wanted to pay you back for destroying my army… and I also want to get rid of the traitors who so foolishly defied me." He said, glaring at Locus, Neo, and Emerald.
"We left for a good reason!" Emerald told him.
"And look what happened. Your friend got destroyed and I will plan on getting rid of all of you!" He chuckled and then raised his hand at Ruby. "Starting with her."
"M-Me?!" Ruby exclaimed in shock, and then Yang got in front of Ruby.
"If you want to harm her, you'll have to go through me!"
"Hmph, gladly." He said, aiming his hand at Yang. "Farewell." He smirked, but suddenly, he was grabbed by the neck from behind… and it belonged from Minene.
"You son of a bitch…" Minene growled as she planted a C-4 on his back and then she pressed a button.
"ARGH!" He yelled, and when the smoke cleared, Yuno was right in front of him with a sword and slashed him away… and she was really pissed off.
"How dare you…" She growled and joining her and Minene were Minene's family, Yuki, Kirito, Asuna, Suguha, Yui, RWBY, JNPR, Emerald, Neo, Locus, Isaac, Aria, Riku, Sora, Kairi, Flare, Latias, Latios and a very pissed off Natsu.
"Kratos! Take care of the rest. I will deal with these fools!"
"Very well." Kratos nodded and then slowly walked over to them.
End BGM
"Don't even think about it!" Washington growled, aiming his Battle Rifle at them as they were getting ready to attack him, but Kratos didn't seem to raise his weapons. He slowly walked over to Sabrina and knelt down, very well aware of everyone willing to attack him at an instant.
He raised his hand, slowly reaching for it. "Don't touch her!" A very emotional Rose shouted, who was attempting to cradle her mother.
Kratos looked at Rose, and then at Sabrina.
He never imagined he'd come back to… kill more humans.
This angered him… and he knew who was responsible for this.
Mephiles.
He slowly got up. "My condolences." He said before slowly turning to Mephiles who was holding his own against them.
His body trembled with rage, he brought out his Blades of Exile… and murder was seen in his eyes.
BGM: Rage of Sparta (God of War III)
"Heheh… is this the best you can do?" Mephiles taunted, seeing the despair in all of their eyes. "I can see the despair in your eyes… you're nothing more than-"
"MEPHILEEEEEEEES!" Kratos yelled… and the next thing Mephiles knew, he looked up… and Kratos slashed down on him, which surprised all of them.
"AAAGH!" He screamed in agony, leaving behind a blood mark on him. "Kratos! What are you doing?!"
"You brought me back to life… but I never thought you'd have me kill humans again!" He growled. "I sword that I'd would never kill humans again, especially not these humans! They weren't responsible for destroying my family… the gods were responsible for this!"
"You'd betray me?!"
"Why would I side with a hedgehog… who's nothing more than a coward?!" He growled. "If you think you can just revive me to be a pawn in your plans, then you are sorely mistaken!"
"I sent you here to kill these miserable vermin who'd oppose me!"
"Hmph, I'm above of killing humans… ever since I met Pandora, I've had a regard on humans now." He readied his Blades of Exile. "From this point forth, I will fight with these humans to destroy you AND the Malevolent Seven! And I will make sure you will suffer a most painful death!"
Mephiles couldn't believe his ears.
First Metal Sonic was destroyed, Sidious and Darth Vader were killed, then Zetsu and Tobi had the nerve to leave just so they could get the Rinnegan, then Time Eater was destroyed, Chaos was purified, and Meta was destroyed by that meddlesome girl, then Roman was killed, then Locus betrayed him and killed Cinder, then Neo and Emerald betrayed him, Mercury was thrown into the Null Void…
And now Kratos is siding with these miserable vermin?!
Not to mention that he outright called him out for being a coward!
Could anything in his plans go well at all?!
Mephiles growled in frustration and made a portal. "This isn't over!" He said as he took off, and the portal disappeared.
End BGM
"Good riddance." Kratos growled and walked back to the camp, while everyone else was in shock of what just happened.
"Sabrina…" Saki whispered. "And to think we just met you…"
"This is a real shame…" Qrow muttered.
Maria Jr. wiped the tears from her eyes, looking at Sabrina and then at Rose, crying nonstop. But then something hit Maria Jr. who then reached into her pockets, pulling out a Summon Gem and looking at it. Come on, please work… She thought and then closed her eyes. Paper Mario!
Paper Mario appeared and then looked directly at Sabrina as he pulled out his bag, looking for a certain item.
Hammers, Shooting Star, Super Mushroom, Lightning Bolt… 1-Up Mushroom… aha!
He quickly pulled it out and then walked over, putting it in her mouth and everyone heard the familiar '1-Up' sound and then slowly, very slowly… Sabrina's eyes woke up.
"Agh…" She groaned and rubbed her head, looking at everyone. "…What's everyone looking at?" She wondered and then she noticed a hand reaching out for her as she looked at it and then looked up, seeing Kratos who was extending his hand as her eyes widened in surprise… and a little bit of terror… and a part of her wanted to fangirl.
"Mephiles killed you, I'm amazed a simple mushroom revived you." Not to mention it was made out of paper.
"I… see…" Sabrina said, trying her hardest not to let out a fangirl scream and took his hand, pulling her up.
"Wait a second; you're not bothered by dying?" Happy asked.
"Why should I? It's not like I'm supposed to dwell on it, right?" Not to mention I've lost my heart to that stupid Keyblade a long time ago, so dying doesn't seem to bother me... She thought, and then the next thing she knew, Riku hugged her tightly.
"I thought you were gone for good…" He said.
"It'll take more than that to get rid of me." Sabrina said, looking in his eyes. "Besides, you can't get rid of me that easily." She said, and then kissed him… and was rudely interrupted when Rose and Maria Jr. hugged her tightly… and pretty much her whole family hugged her.
"Hey, I want in on the hug fest!" Ruby said as she dove right in, knocking them down… and Nora decided to jump in to, which all of them laughed.
"Soooooo…." Sarge looked at Kratos. "I couldn't help but overhear that you were brought back from the dead. Are you a zombie?"
"No." Kratos replied.
"It's not possible to be revived… right?" Berix wondered.
"Well, it's possible." Kina said, pointing to Sabrina.
"So… what's your story?" Tucker wondered.
"My story…" Kratos closed his eyes.
BGM: Scent of Silence (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
"Long ago, I was a Spartan warrior and general, leading my army against another army… however, I was overwhelmed by their leader, the Barbarian King's strength… and I called in Ares to help me defeat my enemy, but by doing so, I was his loyal servant… that is, until I killed my wife and daughter."
"You killed your family?! Dude!" Tucker exclaimed.
"Shh." Carolina shushed him.
"Ares tricked me in order to make me the ultimate warrior in his quest to overthrow Olympus … and I was in a blind rage, thinking my family was my enemy… until I realized I killed them. It was then that I was cursed to wear their ashes." He continued.
He then went on and told them about how he decided to kill Ares, he first had to open Pandora's box after hearing it form Athena, how he was killed by Ares, but was revived by escaping Tartarus and murdered the God of War, and then took his place after failing to kill himself when he Gods refuse to relieved of his nightmares (Also mentioning that before he went to kill Ares, he was sent to a horrible prison worthy of being a living hell by three Furies, Megaera, Tisiphone, and the Fury Queen, Alecto, who punished him for breaking the blood oath he made to the war god but he killed them and was freed of the prison, and was later freed him of Ares's bond, but at the cost of killing Orkos who he freed from his torment. He also killed Hades's wife, Persephone, in order to prevent her from destroying the world along with Atlas and, unfortunately being forever separated from Calliope, his daughter.)
He then went on and told them about his brother, Deimos, and how he went on a journey to look for him. He did this by visiting his mother in the ancient city of Atlantis (All while against the advice of Athena and alter forces to kill his own mother courtesy of Gods chaining her into a monster) and found him in Tartarus, having been tortured for many years after being taken there by gods due to a prophecy about the destruction of Olympus. However Thanatos, the God of Death, later killed Deimos when the two bothers went to face him, Kratos reveals then that he murder Thanatos in retaliation, leaving Kratos by himself.
Later he went on to war with with his Spartan army in an unknown city, and then Zeus betrayed him out of fear due to being possessed by one of the evils, Fear, that was released from Pandora's box into the world and because of the prophecy. He does this by weakening Kratos and tricking him into abandoning his godly powers into the Blade of Olympus, which Zeus used to kill Kratos. After being saved by Gaia and escaping Tartarus once again Kratos went back in time after killing the Sisters of Fate and stopped Zeus from killing him, but Zeus took off while Athena was killed after getting in the way of Kratos in order to prevent him from destroying Olympus and revealed that Zeus was his father.
However, Kratos instead denounces his heritage and vow to kill Olympus. Encouraged by Gaia, Kratos used the power of the Fates to retrieve the Titans before their defeat in the Great War, and with their assistance, stormed Mount Olympus. It was then that he traveled to Olympus with the Titans to kill the Gods, starting with Poseidon, later being betrayed by Gaia after a poor encounter with Zeus, then Hades, Helios, Hermes, Hercules, Cronos the Titan, Hephaestus, and Hera, and watching Zeus threatening Pandora, how he sacrifice Pandora to the Flame of Olympus, his final battle with Zeus while killing Gaia when she attempts to crush them, and how Zeus was finally killed for good by unleashing the power of Hope which was buried deep inside him.
However, after killing Zeus, he realized the destruction he caused in his path of vengeance, and distrusting Athena who wanted to use the power of Hope to rebuild Olympus, and realizing that he had nowhere else to go and nothing left to live for he decided to kill himself with he Blade of Olympus, boldly declaring that his vengeance ends now… and so he committed suicide to freed him form his torment... this action inadvertently brings Hope into the Mortal world… and he wished to stay dead as his vengeance was finally complete until Mephiles revived him, and somehow restored all the weapons that were destroyed by Zeus.
End BGM
When Kratos finished his story, almost everyone was surprised, including Samus, Carolina, Emerald and Locus. "Wow…" Carolina could only say.
"That's… wow…" Samus was at a loss for words.
"That… was the craziest story I've ever heard… of all time." Washington said, while everyone else was at a loss of words, even the Bionicle were amazed by this.
"So, we have a god killer in our team. Awesome!" Kina exclaimed as Kratos nodded and then sat down, looking at the fire in front of him.
A few minutes later…
"Y'know… I wonder what this Citadel thing looks like." Neptune wondered as she was lying down and looking at the stars.
"What makes you think that?" Noire asked.
"Oh, just wondering out loud. Do you guys have any guesses?"
"I think it has something like… um… what does it have?" IF wondered.
"I bet it has something like a training area." Blanc said.
"I wonder if it has a place where I can be a good nurse?" Compa wondered.
"A play area!" Peashy said.
"Perhaps a little torture room to punish my enemies with Julia~" Plutia giggled, which made IF pale up.
"I think there's a boxing room for me to kick ass!" Uzume grinned.
"Maybe a swimming pool." Umio said.
"I bet it has a place where Noire can be her Tsundere self." Neptune teased.
"HEY!" Noire glared at her. "I'm not a Tsundere!"
"Whatever you say, drama queen."
"So, what does it have? I'm curious." Vert looked at them… and then the rest told them what the Citadel was like.
"…You had me at library." Blanc said.
"You had me at video games!" Vert grinned.
"Ah, just think of all the possibilities in the Citadel when we're done here!" Neptune exclaimed. "Swimming, relaxation, video games... the possibilities are endless, I tell ya!"
"Ah, the days when I got Kai into competitive gaming..." Vert smiled.
"You got her into Call of Duty... which, I might add, isn't a very good game franchise." Noire said.
"That's not what you said when I let you play it." Vert smirked. "In fact, I heard you mumbling how the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield would be better on your Playstation."
"I-I don't know what you're talking about!"
"I remember hearing you say that." Blanc said.
"Same here." Neptune said.
Noire's eye twitched. "I-I D-DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!"
"Keep telling yourself that. Besides, even if that were to happen, they'd still be superior on my console." Vert said.
"I say they'd be superior on my console!"
"And you just admitted you want them on your console!" Noire covered her mouth at that.
"Alright, break it up!" Natsu got between them.
"Yeah, can't we just get back to the Citadel?" Uzume asked. "Just think of all the possibilities there! Oh, I can't wait to try all the different things there!" She exclaimed...and suddenly, there was a white aura surrounding her.
BGM: Minicar (Hyperdimension Neptunia MK2)
"Oh, Uzume can't wait! Uzume's so excited! Of all the possibilities that can happen over there, it's completely endless! All the cute boys over there in their shirtless attire, swimming, eating, dancing... OOOOH! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS! Did Uzume tell you how excited she is? BECAUSE UZUME IS SO EXCITED!"
Everyone but the Hyperdimension gang sweatdropped at this, looking at Uzume as if she grew a second head.
"What... the hell?" Sabrina asked.
"By the Great Beings..." Mata Nui wondered, even Click was surprised.
"What did I just see?" Alex asked.
"What in the sam hell did I just listen to?" Sarge asked.
"What happened to that tough girl attitude?" Happy asked.
"I think I'm looking at a completely different person!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Suddenly, I feel slightly uncomfortable..." Mavis sweatdropped.
Qrow looked at his flask, then at Uzume, and back to his flask as he shrugged and took another drink.
"I know I should be used to this... but I'm always still caught off-guard by this." Jacob admitted.
"...Did I miss something?" Weiss asked.
Kratos said nothing, but he did raise an eyebrow at this.
End BGM
Uzume blinked and then start fake coughing. "S-Sorry... something was in my throat."
"If you say so..." Aria blinked.
Some tents set up later…
"So, I've been wondering something." Yang said as she was sitting at the campfire with her team, Sabrina and her family, Aria, Youmu, Alex, Uzume, Umio and Sarge, Simmons and Tucker.
"What is it?" Youmu asked.
"It's about you three." Yang looked at Sarge, Simmons and Tucker. "How did you guys manage to get in the army anyway… specifically, Blood Gulch?"
Sarge chuckled. "Well, it's an interesting story!" He grinned.
"Let's just say we got Grif and I got reassigned to Blood Gulch after we let Hammer die." Simmons said. Probably because Grif and I refused to work together… He thought.
"You were with Grif in Basic Training?" Sarge asked. "Let me guess, he was a dumbass there too."
"Well… yeah."
Sarge chuckled. "I knew it."
"Video interview, I believe I passed with flying colors!" Tucker said proudly.
"That's all fun and all, but let me tell you how I got into Blood Gulch!" Sarge said. "You see…"
Flashback with Sarge, anyone?
"Well, I think that went pretty well!" Daggerknife said, looking at a bunch of dead Reds with Sarge.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
"Ah, special officer Lemons!" Sarge greeted.
"I was out performing, sir!" Daggerknife told him.
"How did this happen?! I-I gave you rubber bullets!"
"Oh, was that intentional? I was under the assumption that you provided us with the wrong ammunition!" Sarge said.
"WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASSUME THAT?!"
"Well, you gave us a real bomb to diffuse!" Sarge pointed out.
"Heheh, he's got you there, sir." Daggerknife chuckled.
"Besides, who doesn't love a good live-fire training course?"
"I'm fairly certain… all of the soldiers you've killed!"
"Aw no no no, we were all in agreement." Daggerknife reassured him.
"Oh yeah! McGruff seemed to be real gung ho about the whole idea." Sarge said, looking at a dead McGruff.
"God rest his soul!" Daggerknife said.
"Sooooo…" They looked back at Lemons. "Have you decided which one of us is being… promoted?"
"Which of… which one of you is… I… I honestly don't know! You're both equally insane!"
"Hmm…" Sarge looked at Daggerknife. "Then it should be one of us who moves forward!"
"Hmm, yes… a fitting resolution if I may say so myself!"
"You may!"
"Well, my father, his father, and his father before him, have all been exceptional military leaders!"
"Admirable, but tradition doesn't win wars. It takes strength, intelligence and the will to survive!"
Lemons couldn't believe his ears. "Gentlemen, I don't think we can base our decisions on-"
"Well, if it's strength and intelligence you're looking for; I've got it in droves!" Daggerknife said.
"I'm only hearing two out of three, Daggerknife! But me? I've got the whole package!"
"Guys…" Lemons tried to say.
"I'll fight with this army until this war has won!" Daggerknife declared.
"Fighting is one thing, but would you die for this army?" Sarge asked.
"Of course I would!"
"Talk is cheap!"
"I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!"
"THEN WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT, DAGGERKNIFE?!" Sarge asked… and then Daggerknife shot himself and fell over. "…Huh, I thought he called my bluff on that one… looks like he's the man for the job after all! Congratulations, Hank Daggerknife! I salute you!"
"He… HE'S DEAD!" Lemons yelled.
"Indeed he is! I guess the job goes to me! Thank you process of elimination! Heheh…"
"…You're crazy! YOU'RE ALL FUCKING CRAZY!"
"Hey! Do NOT disrespect the fallen soldiers of this army!"
"Ha, soldiers?! You're all psychopaths!"
Sarge suddenly cocked a shotgun. "Insubordination!"
"What?!"
"As the newly appointed Sergeant, I will not stand for such behavior! No Red soldier would ever speak so lowly to their fallen brethren! …Unless… you aren't Red!"
"Uh, Sarge…? You're not making any sense."
"Oh, that's where you're wrong, Lemons! Because the first time today, everything makes perfect sense! You're not a Red! You're the FINAL test!"
"What are you talking about?!"
"You're a dirty Blue!"
"…What…?!" Lemons was getting nervous.
"You're as blue as Daggerknife is dead!"
Lemons backed up in fear. "Uh, Agent Florida? We have a situation down here!"
"Thank you Special Officer Lemons, you have found us the perfect Red leader." Florida said from afar.
"NO NO NO, WAIT WAIT WAIT, PLEASE!" Lemons yelled… until Sarge killed him by shooting him.
"That one's for Daggerknife, dirt bag!"
End flashback
"...I have… no words…" Weiss said. "All of you are insane…"
"Why thank you!" Sarge chuckled proudly.
"Freaking… wow… just… wow…" Isaac said.
"Totally." Sabrina nodded while everyone else was trying to comprehend what the hell Sarge just explained.
"Well… I guess I'll go to bed now…" Aria said and then soon joined her husband in the tent.
"Yeah… I'll just… do the same." Yuno said. And they call ME insane… She thought as they soon went to their tents… well, except for Alex, which Uzume noticed.
"Hey, you're not going to bed or anything?" Uzume asked.
"Why should I? I'm already dead." Alex said.
"Dead?" This intrigued her as she sat back down with Umio. "What do you mean by that?"
BGM: Scent of Silence
Alex sighed. "Well, I died a long time ago. I used to be a certain boy's girlfriend… but, I died from cancer. Strangely enough, I didn't know I had it until it was too late. Just before I died…I told him I loved him and… I died as he was holding my hand."
"Did he move on?" Umio curiously asked.
"He tried… he soon found another girlfriend and I thought he'd move on… but when they were at another world, someone died there and he didn't go to the funeral… since he began to think of me. I wanted him to move on, but he didn't have the courage… until when his girl was kidnapped, I came to him and told him there's no point in dwelling on me anymore. He just needed to move on…"
"And he did, didn't he?" Uzume asked.
"Eventually, he did… but every once in a while, he'd think of me. Not there was anything wrong with that… until… I was brought back from the dead from someone named Arthas. You could imagine how horrified he was when I was forced to kill him and I told him who I was… he refused to fight me from that point on. When I snapped out of it, he was both sad and happy to see me… but he was mostly upset because he wanted me to be at peace… and Arthas ruined it. I've never seen him so angry when someone by the name of Envy gave Arthas the idea."
"Oh my…" Uzume whispered.
"I've been revived as a Frost Death Knight… and every Death Knight is immortal…" She muttered.
"Which means you'll watch him die and you'll still live."
"I've stopped aging… I'm still 16 and he's like…18." Or would he be 19 now? "And… the perks of this is that I don't have to worry about being hungry, or being sleepy… thirsty… whatever. I can sleep when I feel like it, I can eat when I feel like it… you get the idea."
Uzume sighed. "You know, this reminds me of when I died too…"
"Huh?" Alex looked at her. "What do you mean?"
"It's a long story." Uzume said. "But, at least I have someone who I can relate to since I died to." Although, it wasn't cancer…
End BGM
"Yeah." Alex nodded as they looked at the fire.
"I've been meaning to ask." Uzume looked at her. "Who's the puffball?" She asked, looking at Jigglypuff who was warming up by the fire.
"Jigglypuff." Alex said.
"Jiggly~!" Jigglypuff waved.
Uzume chuckled and waved back. "So… do you have anyone in mind to be with?"
"Huh?"
"You know, like someone who you want to be with."
"I don't know… my sister thought I'd be happier if I found a guy to be with… although she also mentioned I could be happy if I found a girl as well. But… I told her I'm fine with being alone."
"No one should be alone forever." Umio said. "They have to find someone to be with eventually."
"True, but I don't know… there aren't many undead guys… and I didn't have the heart to tell my sister that I'm not interested in any girls."
Uzume chuckled. "I see…" She said as she looked at the fire and clenched her fists. "…You know what I'm thinking, Umio?"
"What's that?"
"We're going to find Alex an undead guy!"
Alex heard this. "…You are?"
"Of course! You look lonely and no matter what you tell me, it's not going to convince me because I know deep down, you want someone to be with you." Uzume grinned.
"…I wonder if I'll find a perfect guy."
Uzume grabbed her hand. "You will… and I'll help you find one! I won't rest until I find the perfect undead guy for you!"
Alex smiled. "It's a deal." She said and then the girls both hugged… and then Uzume and Umio got up and went to their tent, but not before Uzume looked at her with a wink and went inside. "An undead guy for me… if only there was a guy that'd be interested in an undead girl like me…" She quietly said, looking up at the stars while Jigglypuff fell asleep.
End BGM
Later that morning…
"Mmm…" Sabrina slowly opened her eyes and got up, and rolled out of the tent, yawning a little.
"Oh, you're up early." A voice said.
"Hmm…?" Sabrina looked to see that Emerald, Neo, Locus, Saki, Sarge, Washington, Tucker, and her two daughters around the campfire eating breakfast while Alex was a little ways away, using Frost Strike on a few Shadow Heartless that tried to raid their camp. "Oh… well, sometimes I'm an early bird on occasion."
"Last time I checked, you were a Night Owl too." Wash said.
Sabrina chuckled. "Yeah." She said as she sat down and fixed her hair, attempting to get her ponytails situated.
"Want me to help you?" Saki asked.
"Nah, I got it…" She said, but since she was still a bit sleepy, she was struggling. "…Okay, I need some help."
Saki giggled. "I'll come help you." She said and then walked over to her.
"So… um… Locus…" Maria Jr. tried to start a conversation.
"Yeah?"
"Um, I'm just wondering… what you look like without your helmet on."
Locus, through his helmet, gave her a surprised look. "I… never thought you'd ask me such a thing."
"I'm just curious." Maria Jr. said.
"Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen your face when we were with Mephiles." Emerald said. "Neo, have you?" She asked as Neo just gave a simple shrug.
"Hmm, now I'm curious too." Rose said.
"He probably hides his face because he has an ugly mug." Tucker said.
"Hey…"
"Now, I wouldn't say 'ugly', he's probably ashamed for something he's hiding." Sarge said. "Hell, maybe he is ugly. Or he's probably a girl that's using a voice modifier to sound like a woman!"
"…That is the most bizarre thing that I've ever heard. Of all time." Washington said.
"Well, what do you think it could be, Wash?"
"I just think he could be just a regular guy."
"Pfft, lame!" Tucker said. "He's probably just embarrassed… or maybe-"
Locus sighed. "If I'll show you my face, will you shut up?"
"…Maybe."
"Alright." Locus nodded and then took off his helmet, revealing that he's dark skinned and an X-shaped scar on his face.
"Huh, that explains the X on the helmet." Sarge said.
Emerald said nothing, but she did smile. "You look cool."
Locus smiled back and looked at the two little girls who just smiled and gave them the thumbs up and then looked at Neo who just smiled back as he put the helmet back on.
"Okay, I take it back… he looks cool." Tucker said. And I can't believe I just said that.
"He looked cute." Saki said. …Wait, did I just say that out loud? I'm already married to Satoru! She thought, blushing a little and suddenly, there was a blood curdling scream as they turned to see Youmu crawling out of her tent and what seemed to chase her was… an Aegislash?
A few minutes ago…
"Doublade… Dou…" Doublade sneakily came out of Minene's Pokeball and then spotted Professor Jacob's bag. "Dou?" It wondered as it went in. "Dou Dou Blade…" Doublade said, digging through stuff and then it pulled out a Dusk Stone. "Doublade?" It curiously looked at it before evolving into Aegislash.
"Aeg…?" Aegislash wondered, looking at its new body before casually putting the stone back in, pretending that it never happened and wandered around the camp, and then spotting Youmu… and getting a most wonderful idea.
Aegislash proceeded to poke her. "Mmm…" Youmu moaned in her sleep.
Another poke!
"Myon…"
Another poke!
"Myon… stop it…" She muttered.
Another!
"Myon…!" Youmu got up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "What is it?" She asked, but then realizing that Myon was still asleep as she slowly turned to see Aegislash.
"Aeg!"
Youmu paled up… and then screamed, falling off of Myon and backing up.
Back in the present…
"Aegislash!"
Youmu was trembling in fear of the Pokemon… before fainting on the spot.
"…What is that…?" Saki wondered.
"I guess Doublade found a Dusk Stone." Sabrina said.
"Hey… HEY!" Another voice yelled as they looked to see Sableye coming out… with Jaune's shield and sword. "Those are mine!"
"Sable!" Sableye grinned and did a few heroic poses. "Sableye!"
"…Where's my camera?" Sabrina asked. "That's so adorable!"
"You think that thing is adorable?" Tucker asked.
"Sable!" Sableye did a few sword swings, a few lunges, a few more swings… all while being adorable.
"Okay, you had your fun, now give it to me!" Jaune demanded.
"Sable!" He put his arms away from Jaune.
"Don't make me…" Jaune growled.
"Sable." Sableye had a 'come get it' look in his eyes… and then Jaune tackled him to the ground, resulting in a fighting dust cloud… which ended up being short with Sableye being on top of Jaune and Sableye doing another heroic pose… and Jaune was impatiently tapping his finger on the ground with a 'I can't believe I have to put up with this' look on his eyes.
Eventually, Sableye grew bored and gave Jaune his stuff back before he happily went over and jumped into Sabrina's arms. "Sable Sable!"
"You were so adorable, you cute little thing!" Sabrina giggled, hugging him tightly.
"Ha ha… glad you find him cute…" Jaune muttered.
A little bit later…
They were all getting ready to leave when Sabrina noticed Rose sitting by herself in a log, and so she walked over to her. "Hey Rose, what's wrong?"
"Nothing…"
Sabrina immediately knew something was wrong. Her daughter sounded completely depressed so she immediately sat down next to her. "There's something wrong." She said. "You sound sad."
BGM: Roxas (Kingdom Hearts II)
Rose looked at her mother in the eye. "It's just… that you died and…" She couldn't finish as she started crying.
Sabrina clenched her fists, silently cursing that Mephiles had to go and kill her right in front of her daughter's eyes. "Rose…" She said, gently putting her hand on her lap. "I'm not dead, I'm still here."
"I know, but… M-M-Mephiles k-killed you…!"
Sabrina sighed. "I know… but I was brought back to life anyway." She said. "Come here, sweetie…" She told her and Rose leaned in, as her head touched her breasts. "I would never leave you, Rose… not without saying goodbye. I'm not going to die just like that…"
"Big brother told me… that you died a long time ago in… Radiant Garden."
"I did, but… I'm still here. Mephiles killed me but not even he could strike me down… I'm not going down by some coward who thought he'd have the last laugh. Guess what? He didn't."
"Mommy…"
"Honey, I'll always be here. I'm not going to see my little girl be saddened by this." She said, kissing her forehead. "Not when I'm here… I always love it to see you happy."
Rose smiled a little and hugged her tightly, wishing that Mephiles never did that in front of her eyes… and she knew one that.
Mephiles was going to pay for that… by suffering the wrath of the Fierce Deity.
Sabrina, on the other hand, was thinking about violently destroying him for traumatizing her daughter… for that was completely unacceptable.
The two sat there for a little while until Rose's tears disappeared as Sabrina gently wiped her tear stained cheeks away. "Come on, let's go."
"Right." Rose nodded as they soon joined the others, ready to go.

Later…
Everyone was going straight to a village, but this time, Sabrina was in her HDD and right near the vehicle should Rose and Maria Jr. fall. "Hey, you look chipper in that form." Fairy Heart said, flying next to her.
"Let's just say I contemplated about the darkness after Isaac got his darkness back." She said. "HDD, the animatronics, Strength of the Underworld, you know… all of that fun stuff."
"Well, glad it's not bothering you." Fairy Heart chuckled as they flew together.
"Where are we?" Mata Nui asked.
"Near the villages of Tesara, just over this dune." Ackar said as they went over the dune and saw the village in front of them, and then they went inside, looking at the jungle in amazement before they stopped, and everyone went back to normal.
"Ah, it's good to be home!" Gresh said. "Oh, sounds like a Glatorian battle is about to start!"
"Not if I can help it." Ackar said while Kiina noticed Berix being a little… jumpy.
"Why so jumpy, thief? Rip someone off around here or just looking for a Skrall spy to tell our plan to?"
"I am not traitor or a thief, but you know, I've been doing a little bit of… collecting around here, so… I'll just lay low and-" He spotted a shield. "Ooo! I do like that!" He reached for it… and then Kiina slapped his hand. "Ow! Will you stop it?!"
"This is not the time, Berix!" Kiina scolded and then walked away… and then Berix ran off the other way… but not before going back and taking the shield, giggling uncontrollably and then took off again while everyone else was walking towards the arena.
"I told you, Raanu! Putting Vastus against Tarix would pack them in!" Metus said. "I hope this means you're ready to-" He noticed Mata Nui and the heroes. "Ha ha! Well, isn't this a surprise? Welcome, old friends-" He then noticed the others that joined them. "And new friends… and…" He glanced at Kratos who just gave him a scowl, seeming to not trust Metus. "Uh… right, isn't this great? A sold out crowd!"
"It's over!" Ackar declared.
"Over?" Raanu asked. "What's he talking about, Metus?"
Metus lightly chuckled and then turned to Ackar. "Ackar, with all due respect, you have no authority here! And you're too late." He smirked as the battle between Vastus and Tarix had already commenced, starting with shooting each other before going in and slashing each other… until Ackar had enough, so he jumped up on a small ledge.
"Fighting between Glatorian must stop! Our real enemy is out there! Massing as I speak!"
"Wait, what are you doing?!" Metus asked, trying to bring him down.
"Mind your own business, you old fool!" An audience member shouted.
"Yeah, sit down!"
Tarix and Vastus soon realized what was going on. "Silence! Let him talk." Tarix requested.
"I agree." Vastus said and then looked at Ackar. "Speak, Ackar." He requested.
"Thank you, Vastus… and you too, Tarix." He said. "Listen to me, everyone! Bone Hunters and Skrall have formed an alliance!" There was a gasp within the audience, and then Kiina jumped up with Ackar.
"It's true! They destroyed our village, Tarix…"
Tarix's eyes widened. "Impossible…"
Then, Gresh jumped up. "Kiina speaks the truth! Tajun is gone and is just the beginning!"
"We must unite, not fight each other!" Ackar spoke up. "Time is running out!"
"There's no way we can stand against the Bone Hunters!"
"The Skrall are too powerful!"
"Calm yourselves!" Raanu spoke up. "Your villages know what is best for you! We will do as we always have!"
"And that would be…?" Natsu raised an eyebrow.
"That's a load of bullshit right there." Blanc quietly said.
"Your old ways will not work!" Mata Nui said. "You are facing a united army now! They will not stop until your people are destroyed!"
"This is crazy!" Metus spoke up. "Let's have just… think!"
"With no weapons? How can we fight back?"
Ackar had enough. "ENOUGH!" He yelled, firing a stream of fire from his sword up to the sky, silencing the audience.
Well, that worked. Samus thought.
Could've saved some fire for me, though… Natsu thought.
"Yeah, we thought that might get your attention." Kiina said.
Ackar looked at Mata Nui. "Toa Mata Nui and his friends have offered to help us build our defenses."
Team Rocket looked at each other and then at Ackar. "We have?"
"Why should we trust these strangers?"
"Tarix, give Mata Nui your weapon." Ackar requested as Tarix looked at his weapon before tossing it to him and giving it to Mata Nui.
"What are you going to do?" Tarix asked.
"Show you the power you already possess." He said as his mask glowed, blinding them for a few seconds before his weapon looked brand new, much to the shock of anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
"D-Did that just happen?!" Noire asked.
"…Now I know who to go to if my sword's all rusty!" Neptune grinned.
"I… I don't believe it." Tarix said as he got his blade back. "It's… it's incredible."
"What more proof do you need?" Ackar asked. "The time to unite the villages has come!" He said as the crowd cheered.
"No! Wait, wait!" Raanu exclaimed.
Oh, for the love of… Kairi thought.
Raanu turned to them. "If we agree, won't the Glatorians and Mata Nui swear to stay and protect us?"
"You do not need to ask the allegiance of the Glatorian." He then turned to Mata Nui. "But we cannot speak for you, I will not pretend I have anything left to teach you. But I'll ask, as a friend. Help us."
"As a friend, I will stay." Mata Nui said, looking at the heroes. "And I'm pretty sure they'll help too."
"It's what we do anyway!" Deadpool chuckled and then Mata Nui smiled as he jumped up to join his Bionicle friends.
"We'll fight… together!" They all exclaimed, followed by many cheers.
Later that night…
"Mala..."
"Hmm?" Natsu turned to see Malamar approaching him. "What are you looking at, squid?"
"Mala!" Malamar's eyes glowed and then Natsu... started to look a little sleepy before snapping out of his sleepiness.
A few minutes later…
"Hey, has anyone seen Natsu? I can't find him anywhere." Happy said.
"Have you looked up a cliff recently?" Youmu asked.
"No... why?
"You might want to look up..."
Happy looked up and saw Natsu ready to jump. "AAAAH! NATSU, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"What does it look like, Happy?! I'm going to fly!"
"Fly? Does he have invisible wings I don't know about?" Ruby asked.
"Why do I have this feeling Sabrina's Malamar was behind this?" Yang suspiciously asked, unaware of Sabrina fist bumping Malamar.
"I swear, the two of you would be good pranksters..." Aria muttered.
"Hey, that gives me an idea..." Sabrina smirked devilishly.
"DON'T ENCOURAGE HER!" Sora yelled. Great, my sister is going to go on a pranking spree. I just know it...
Happy flew up to Natsu. "ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU CAN'T FLY!"
"Don't you get it?! You can fly, Lily can fly, Carla can fly, Lector can fly... even Frosch can fly! Well, guess what? I'm sick and tired of all of you flying around without a care in the world! IT'S TIME FOR ME TO FLY WITHOUT YOU!"
"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?! YOU'RE GONNA DIE!"
"Hey Natsu! Do a frontflip!" Sarge's voice called out to him.
"No, do a backflip!" Neptune called.
"Do one of those crazy flips like they do in the Summer Olympics!" Simmons added.
"DON"T ENCOURAGE HIM!" Happy yelled.
"Alright, here we go!" Natsu smirked and then backed up, chuckling devilishly... doing a pose similar to what Gray did way back then. "WATCH ME FLY!" He yelled and then ran forward.
"AAAH! I CAN'T LOOK!" Happy closed his eyes and then Natsu leaped into the air, his arms spread out.
"SOARING... LIKE A MAJESTIC EAGLE!" He yelled...and then started freefalling.
"Myon!" Youmu cued and then Myon flew over, ready to catch him. "Move to the left a little!"
Myon moved to the left just a little bit... but then Natsu faceplanted just a little ways off next to her.
"Um... your other left..." Youmu sweatdropped as Myon sweatdropped as well.
"Agh... nailed it..." Natsu groaned before passing out from the pain.
"Do that again, you didn't do a frontflip." Sarge ordered.
"Aww, you didn't do a backflip…" Neptune complained.
"Can we NOT do that again?" Emerald asked as Neo seemed to agree.
"I think you're having too much fun with Malamar..." Riku told his wife.
"Maybe." Sabrina shrugged before hugging Malamar.
"Uuugh... is there a doctor in the house...?" Natsu groaned.
"Coming~!" Compa came over with one humongous shot with one hell of a big needle that even made Pyrrha's skin crawl just looking at that thing. "Time to make you feel better~!"
Poke.
"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"
"All better~!" She said and then pulled out some bandages. "And now… for the finishing touches!"
Needless to say… Natsu was basically a mummy by the time she was done, except she didn't cover up the nose and eyes. "MMPH! MMMPH MMMPH MMMPH!" Natsu yelled, glaring at Compa.
"You're welcome~!"
Sabrina was then seen looking at the stars, aiming her hand up at the sky and sighing… before a certain purple haired airheaded CPU came into her view. "What'ya doin?" Neptune asked.
"Oh, just looking at the stars."
"I see." Neptune said as she hopped down and looked at them with her, and joining her was Plutia.
"Hello~!" Plutia smiled.
"So... what'ya thinkin' about?"
"This… that… everything."
"Doesn't help much."
Sabrina chuckled. "Well, I'm just thinking about the Malevolent Seven. Are we really going to stop them?"
"I'm sure we will. The Legion's been destroyed, so I'm pretty sure there's a chance." Neptune said.
"I dunno… I just wanted to be done with it… going back to our regular lives in Destiny Islands, not having to worry about anything, just having a great time with my family and… well, the Malevolent Seven had to ruin everything."
"Okay, that's just depressing." Neptune said. "We'll destroy the Malevolent Seven! I know we will!"
"Yeah…" Sabrina nodded.
"So… let's get your mind off of them for a little bit." Neptune said. "Is there anything that interests you or…?"
"Well… Rose has taken an interest in machines-"
"You can thank my sister for that!"
Sabrina smiled. "Yeah… and since Rose is like such a maniac with those kinds of things, it makes me wonder if I could be one of those too."
"You mean like being insane like those two?"
"Not really, but I'm curious to see what I could make. I never had a thought of being a mechanic until… well… now, I guess."
"Well, you could always try it out and see what you can do… or you can just stick with your games and anime."
"Yeah." Sabrina nodded.
With Aria…
"You know what I find weird?" Aria asked as she was with Noire and Uzume.
"What is it?" Noire asked.
"It's you bonding with Hina… don't you find it a little…ironic?"
"Uh, o…kay?"
"Well, you basically run Lastation and well, you… had a relationship with Hina, and she has HDD of basically Halo."
"Uh-huh…"
"Oh for the love of-" Aria sighed. "You're basically Playstation and Hina has a freaking Xbox HDD. I mean, Halo Heart… it has Halo in the name!"
Uzume thought about this. "She's right... Halo is Xbox, and you're basically Playstation."
"...You're right... But wait, then why didn't she have a dream of hanging out with Vert?" Noire wondered before shrugging it off. "Well, despite the irony… I liked hanging out with her. In fact, I want to hang out with her some more… wherever she may be." She said, looking at the stars. "I wonder how she's doing?"
"Makes me miss Ven and Vanitas… I wonder where those two knuckleheads are at?"
With Kairi…
"I never thought I'd see Flare go insane in her HDD when they were in your world." Kairi said.
Blanc blushed in embarrassment. "I can't believe I rubbed off on her like that… Sure, I'm glad I got her into writing and reading, but I never thought my temper would rub off on her."
"It happens." Vert said. "Ah… me and Kai would definitely tease you for being flat…"
"Don't bring my chest into this!" Blanc growled. "It makes me feel like I'm a big loser! Your tits drive me crazy how you flail them around… and don't get me started on Peashy's weapons of mass destruction!"
"Really…?" Peashy wondered as she transformed into Yellow Heart. "My tits can destroy things?" She asked and then smiled. "Awesome!"
"NO! THAT WAS JUST A FIGURE OF SPEECH! PUT THOSE THINGS AWAY!" Blanc screamed… and then Yellow Heart turned back into Peashy.
"You're no fun." Peashy sighed.
"Okay, besides arguing over whose breasts are bigger… I do appreciate for trying to make my daughter feel better." Kairi said.
"I never intended to start a relationship with her… I don't know what came over me." Blanc sighed. "She really belongs to Flame. I wish I had a boyfriend though…"
Meanwhile, with Kiina…
Kiina entered the hot springs, seeing a shadowy figure wandering around, which raised her suspicions. Who are you? She thought and she was about to get up, when she heard movement behind her to see Isaac, Tristina, Rose, Maria Jr, Horus, Light, Penny, Yui, Mai, Makoto and the CPU Candidates. "What are you doing here?"
"…Well, we were following these knuckleheads." Isaac said.
"Apparently, they wanted to see what you were up to."
"I was following them too." Penny said.
"I can't help my curiosity at times." Rose admitted, blushing a little.
"Well, as long as you're here, you might as well help me chase that shadowy figure." Kiina said.
"You got it!" Yui grinned as they all went with her to chase the shadowy figure, while Isaac and Tristina couldn't help but wonder if something bad was going to happen.
As soon as they got close to the suspect, Kiina put her hand on the figure's shoulder… and it was revealed to be Berix, causing him to gasp. "I have to admit, I was hoping I was wrong." She admitted and then aimed her spear at him. "Don't move, traitor!"
"What?! No, I was following-"
"He was following me." A voice caught their attention as they realized who it was.
BGM: Fifth Laboratory (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
"You?!" They all exclaimed until they were surrounded by the Bone Hunters, forcing them to get in battle positions while summoning their weapons.
Back with the others…
"…So he's not hurt by the flames?" Kratos asked, watching Ackar training and using a fire stream… while Natsu was eating it.
"I'm basically immune to it!" Natsu grinned, his hand bursting into flames.
"Extraordinary…" Kratos mused, while noticing Yang having to hold Ruby down.
"Must! Touch! Weapon!" Ruby fangirled, wanting to touch Kratos' weapons.
"I wish I could eat fire." Neptune said and at that instant, Sabrina lightly growled and then turned her head.
"Something wrong?" Flare asked.
"Yeah… something's wrong alright…"
"Mother's intuition?" Happy asked.
"Oh yeah… and it's kicking into high gear."
"I feel the same way." Aria said.
"Ackar! Mata Nui!" Metus's voice called to them as they turned to see him running up to them. "The Skrall have kidnapped Kiina and Berix!"
"What?!" Ackar asked.
"And worse, they grabbed a few of your friends as well!" Metus added and described what they looked like… and the next thing he knew… an angry aura surrounded Sabrina.
End BGM
BGM: Magnus (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
"They think… THEY CAN KIDNAP MY KIDS LIKE THAT?!" She yelled.
Flare's teeth clenched and transformed into Hoopa Heart. "Oh… they're going to regret kidnapping my cousins!"
Terra was basically enveloped in a dark aura while Aria went into her HDD, both of them seriously pissed off.
"I heard Penny! UNACCEPTABLE!" Ruby yelled, taking out Crescent Rose.
"The twins…" Minene growled, reaching in for a C-4. "Well, it gives me an excuse to blow some HEADS OFF!" She yelled.
Kirito growled and then went into his GGO form, and Asuna and Suguha going in their ALO forms. "I've always thought Yui as my niece." Leafa said. "I'm going to go save her."
"So am I." Asuna said as Kirito nodded.
"THEY KIDNAPPED MY SISTERS?!" Blanc yelled, transforming into White Heart. "LET ME AT 'EM!"
"Don't worry, sis!" Neptune said, transforming into Purple Heart. "I'll come and get you!"
Noire said nothing, but transformed into Black Heart. "They're going down." She growled.
"This makes me angry…" Plutia transformed into Iris Heart.
Rosa looked at N, as they both nodded and took out their Pokeballs, quite angry that their son was kidnapped.
"Let's go save them." Locus looked at Emerald and Neo as they nodded.
"I'll come with you too." Uzume said, smirking and pounding her fists together. "I'm going to enjoy kicking some ass!"
"We must go after them." Mata Nui said to the angry group. "Before they get too far."
"I'm going with you, my wounds heal! I'm ready!" Gresh said.
"No, you can't!" Raanu protested.
"I understand your fear, but we cannot turn our backs on our friends." Mata Nui said.
"Kiina is just one Glatorian and the other is a useless thief. I'm pretty sure the others are just baggage anyway, I don't think we nee-"
The next thing Raanu knew, his head was met with a fiery fist…and it belonged to Natsu. "No one is worth sacrificing, no matter HOW SMALL!" He yelled. "And if you think you can just talk down to my friends that way… THEN SO HELP ME, I'LL BURN YOU TO A CRISP!" He threatened.
"He's right." Mata Nui said. Maybe except for the burn to a crisp part. "We stand together, as a team!"
"So you'll leave us defenseless?" Raanu asked.
"I was once forced to abandon my own people. I will not do it again. The Glatorian will remain here. I will go." Mata Nui said, looking at his human friends. "And those who want to save them will go too. The rest will remain here… and he will too." He said, looking at Natsu.
"WHAT?!" Natsu yelled. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! I'M JUST FIRED UP JUST THINKING ABOU-" His head soon hit the ground when Gildarts punched it down.
"We've got villagers to protect, Natsu." Gildarts said, picking up the unconscious Dragon Slayer and looked at Mata Nui. "We'll hold down the fort."
"Got it." Mata Nui nodded as they proceeded to walk away.
"They're crazy…" Gresh said.
Ackar chuckled. "Indeed they are."
End BGM
The next day… on top of a huge cliff…
Mata Nui and the others were looking down as they were on top of a cliff. "I thought I might find you guys here." Ackar's voice said and then handed them something. "Here, this might help." He said, opening up a map. "My guess is that they'll be… here at Skrall camp." He then looked at Mata Nui. "I wish I could go with you."
Mata Nui looked at him. "I know, I know… you're ready." Ackar said. "The question is… are they?" He asked as they looked down to see the Bionicle pulling the two villages together.
"Uniting these two villages is a strong start." Mata Nui said.
"Let's hope the other villages survive long enough to join us." He hoped, before clenching his fist and punching Mata Nui, but he simply blocked it with his hand. "Oh ho ho, you've learned well, friend!"
Mata Nui put his hand on his shoulder. "I've had a great teacher." He said as he heard something and then looked down. "…Incredible."
"What is it?"
"I will explain later."
Sabrina clenched her fists. "Come on… let's go." She said as everyone nodded and walked away with Mata Nui, determined to save their family from the Skrall.
*humming* Don't mind me, just collecting some Pokemon in Pokemon GO~!
